Overview

Uplatz provides this end-to-end course on Dynatrace: AI-Powered Observability & Software Intelligence. It is a self-paced course with recorded video lectures, and you will be awarded a Course Completion Certificate at the end of the course.

Dynatrace is a leading software intelligence platform that provides full-stack, AI-powered observability for modern cloud environments. It goes beyond traditional monitoring by offering automatic and intelligent insights into the performance, health, and availability of applications, infrastructure, and user experience. In today's highly dynamic and complex digital landscapes, characterized by microservices, containers, serverless functions, and multi-cloud deployments, understanding the intricate dependencies and pinpointing root causes of issues can be a daunting task. Dynatrace addresses this complexity by unifying monitoring, APM, infrastructure monitoring, digital experience management (DEM), AIOps, and security analytics into a single, comprehensive platform.

The core innovation of Dynatrace lies in its OneAgent and PurePath® technology. OneAgent is a single, lightweight agent deployed across all hosts (physical, virtual, cloud instances, containers). It automatically discovers all components of your technology stack, including applications, services, processes, hosts, and network dependencies. It collects a vast array of high-fidelity data—metrics, logs, traces, and user experience data—without requiring manual configuration or code changes. PurePath® technology then traces every transaction from the user interface down to the code level across all tiers and services, providing unparalleled, end-to-end visibility and context. This automatic, continuous discovery and tracing eliminate monitoring blind spots and reduce the "blame game" between teams.

Crucially, Dynatrace leverages a powerful AI engine called Davis® to analyze the massive amounts of data collected. Davis® automatically identifies anomalies, correlates events across the entire stack, and pinpoints the precise root cause of problems, often before they impact users. This proactive problem identification and intelligent root-cause analysis significantly reduce MTTR (Mean Time To Resolution) and transform reactive IT operations into proactive, self-healing systems.

Learning Dynatrace is essential for modern IT professionals, DevOps engineers, SREs, and developers who need to ensure the performance, availability, and security of complex, distributed applications in dynamic cloud environments. It empowers organizations to transform their operations, achieve high performance, and deliver exceptional digital experiences to their customers.
